Changes in the corpus callosum during the recovery of aphasia: A case report
Rationale: The corpus callosum, which is the most important fiber pathway linking the bilateral hemispheres, plays a key role in information access, as well as the functional coordination and reorganization between the bilateral hemispheres. However, whether the corpus callosum will undergo structural changes during the recovery of aphasia is still unclear. In the current study, a Chinese aphasic patient with stroke was reported to develop changes in the corpus callosum after speech therapy. Patient concerns: A 33-year-old right-handed male patient had aphasia only without limb paralysis at 14 months after stroke. Di...

rTMS treatments combined with speech training for a conduction aphasia patient: A case report with MRI study
We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with conduction aphasia following a left hemisphere stroke. Interventions: The rTMS location comprised the left Broca area, and a frequency of 5 Hz for 20 min/d for 10 days during a 2-week period was used. She had received speech rehabilitation training 1 month after stroke. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging were used to investigate the functional and microstructural changes before and after rTMS treatment. Outcomes: The results demonstrated that the Western Aphasia Battery scores significantly improved for l...
